February 2, 2007, and will remain in effect indefinitely, subject to the
conditions below.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director	

		      Office of International Aviation	

XX   The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and Peru.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:     		XX  American’s
certificates of public convenience and necessity

		XX  Lan Peru’s foreign air carrier permit

		XX  Standard Exemption Conditions (attached as Appendix B) 

		XX  Foreign Carrier Exemption Conditions (attached as Appendix C)

		XX  Conditions for Statements of Authorization (see below)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------

Conditions:  The statements of authorization granted are subject to the
following conditions:

(a) The statements of authorization will remain in effect only as long
as (i) American and Lan Peru continue to hold the necessary underlying
authority to operate the code-share services at issue, and (ii) the
code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations remains in
effect.

(b) American and/or Lan Peru must promptly notify the Department (Office
of International Aviation) if the code-share agreement providing for the
code-share operations is no longer effective or if the carriers decide
to cease operating all or a portion of the approved code-share services.
 Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2004-19965.

(c) American and/or Lan Peru must notify the Department no later than 30
days before they begin any new code-share service under the code-share
services authorized here.  Such notice shall identify the market(s) to
be served, which carrier will be operating the aircraft in the
code-share market added, and the date on which the service will begin. 
Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2004-19965.

(d) The code-sharing operations conducted under this authority must
comply with 14 CFR 257 and with any amendments to the Department’s
regulations concerning code-share arrangements that may be adopted. 
Notwithstanding any provisions in the contract between the carriers, our
approval here is expressly conditioned upon the requirements that the
subject foreign air transportation be sold in the name of the carrier
holding out such service in the computer reservation systems and
elsewhere; that the carrier selling such transportation (i.e., the
carrier shown on the ticket) accept responsibility for the entirety of
the code-share journey for all obligations established in its contract
of carriage with the passenger; that the passenger liability of the
operating carrier be unaffected; and that the operating carrier shall
not permit the code of its U.S. code-sharing partner to be carried on
any flight that enters, departs, or transits the airspace of any area
for whose airspace the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a
flight prohibition.

(e) Any service provided shall be consistent with all applicable
agreements between the United States and Peru, and all applicable
agreements with other foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (i)
nothing in the award of this blanket statement of authorization should
be construed as conferring upon American’s rights (including
code-share, fifth-freedom intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve
markets where U.S. carrier rights are limited unless American notifies
us of its intent to serve such market and unless and until the
Department has completed any necessary carrier selection procedures to
determine which carrier(s) should be authorized to exercise such rights;
and (ii) should there be a request by any carrier to use the
limited-entry route rights that are included in American’s authority
by virtue of the blanket statement of authorization granted here, but
that are not being used by American, the holding of such authority will
not be considered as providing any preference for American in a carrier
selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s) should be entitled to
use the authority at issue.

(f) The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that
neither American nor Lan Peru shall give any force or effect to any
contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these
conditions.

Remarks: We note that American has conducted a safety audit of Lan Peru
under the Department’s Code-Share Safety Audit Program, and the FAA
has advised that it has reviewed the relevant audit and found it to be
acceptable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicants qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. 
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Dockets.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
